    Problems with installing Optical Flares Plugin

    Hello everyone,
    I have AE CS5, and after I downloaded The OF Plugin, I pasted the folder at d:\Adobe CS5\support files\plug-ins.
    After that I've opened AE and OF wasn't there.

    Does anyone have a clue why?

    That's the place I tried to install the plug-in, sorry for misleading.
    So, for now it doesn't work...

    There is a tutorial video at Video Copilot on the same site you dl'd your Optical Flares from when you purchased it. The adress would be on your reciept. It will show you how to install the OF plugin in CS3, CS4 and CS5. If you still have problems you should contact VCP or Andrew.
    Like - basically, you need to generate a valid license file...

    ... and sorry, iDad, but the installation of OF involves copying/pasting folders...

    Oh - I see... no, that's not possible, but I think shlosi's problem is not getting a license file to validate. Could be wrong there. Just a hunch. Had to re-admit HW-print twice myself to get it correct.
